here's what he said slamming the president on foreign policy. by failing to maintain the elements of our influence and stepping away from our alleys, president obama has heightened the prospect of conflict and instability. he does not understand an american policy that lacks resolve can provoke aggression. the arab spring presented an opportunity to help move millions of people from oppression to freedom, but it also presented grave risks. we needed a strategy for success, but the president offered none. and now he seeks to down play the significance of the calamities of the past few weeks. steve, does he have a point? >> no. what's the old saying? that dog won't hunt. i don't think you can criticize barack obama on his foreign policy achievements. it's a tough world out there. it's complicated. things don't always happen the way we want them to, but they have done a terrific job of handling very difficult situations. they killed osama bin laden. i think they have a record to stand on that the president can proudly go to the debates and argue wi

what does governor romney put across on monday on foreign policy? >> well, i think it's an excellent opportunity for governor romney to show leadership in a critical area for somebody who wants to be president. i think he's made the point before and i hope he'll make it again, that a strong american presence nationally is critical to sustain democrat prosperity at home and to provide the security that we need for international trade and finance, to protect american interests, and if you don't have a strong america, you don't have a strong economy and the reverse is true as well. without a strong economy, it's almost impossible to have a strong american presence around the world. so, i think that the inner relationships here, which president obama has never seemed to understand are one of the important points to make. >> well, here is something else to point out here, because in that interview with sean hannity, governor mitt romney also told fox news, the obama administration gave misleading information about the attack that killed a u.s. ambassador
